Florida aquarium that was home to Winter welcomes new rescued dolphin | Video

Clearwater, Dec 14 (EFE).- The Clearwater Marine Aquarium in the US state of Florida is welcoming a new rescued dolphin just days after organizing a memorial for Winter, whose story of survival inspired the films "Dolphin Tale" and "Dolphin Tale 2."

"December proves to be a magical month for rescued resident dolphins at Clearwater Marine Aquarium," that center said in announcing Tuesday that the National Marine Fisheries Service has chosen it to be the "forever home to a new rescued male dolphin."

Apollo, so-named because he was found in waters near the John F. Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida, is two years old and will live at the same site that Winter shared with resident dolphins Hope, PJ, Nicholas, and Hemingway, the CMA said in a statement. (Camera: HANDOUT).
